Since the acquisition of Microcell by Rogers, Fido and Rogers customers share the same network. By now Canada has actually one single GSM national network operator, which is Rogers combined with Microcell.
There's a second network operator called Ice Wireless but it has a very limited coverage at GSM 1900 in the Whitehorse area. They don't have any prepaid offer so far.
